I’m doing a quick review of the Addons that I am using on my Windows PC. I’ve had a look at some of the previous posts to try to get an idea of where things are at
Currently I have the following Container related Addons but I think things have moved on a bit since I looked at this.
This means that opening Facebook and Google automatically goes into relevant containers and using Switch I can create separate containers for Work, Banking etc.
I noticed that I’m not using Mozzilla’s Multi-Account Containers
Ideally I’d like to be able to:
- Have Facebook and Google Open in their own containers
- Potentially open separate containers for different Google Accounts
- Allocate other domains to open by default in a specific container (e.g a list of Bank websites into a specific container) but be able to override that
- Have links from Thunderbird open in relevant containers
What are people using in terms of Container addons?
Facebook is good and I especially like the amazon container. It’s well calibrated and I’ll occasionally open a website unknowing and think, “wow, I didn’t even realize that [IMDB, Good Reads, etc.] Was an Amazon site.”
Very helpful.

I’ve noticed that increasingly there is a requirement to accept cookies for service - Now I know that this is potentialy not legal in the EU - its happening. So at least if you are limiting interaction of third party cookies across different containers and using different identies - there is some advange - and it allow you to maintain different personas as such. They are all only seeing a slice of your activity - Thoughts?
Containers don’t necessarily help privacy in an absolute sense but help keep trackers from following you across as many sites.
Yeah …
